Was hoping to get some for a cruiser type retro rebuild. Don't need to be too balloony. 26". I don't want to spend big money. But mid range quality would be good. Any recommendations?

This is the current status of my retro, I still have the original colour coded mudguards, seat, whitewalls etc unfortunately the original wheels got squashed under a car. the frame is a 1979 Huffy Good Vibrations
